It begins with a disappointment, both for the characters and for the audience: the seven brothers and sisters have saved at the end of the first season of the world before the Apocalypse, because the next one is announced already. It’s just that the brothers and sisters lost this time in the case of a failed trip back in time to the sixties and to the new life you have built, as they find themselves and are forced, the next big disaster to avert – namely, a nuclear war, the trigger is not clear. The Story is Essentially the same as in the first season? Yes. And no. Therefore, the feeling of disappointment lasts for a maximum of five minutes.

You have ten days until the Apocalypse, but the device is always forgotten: firstly, you argue constantly, and secondly, everyone has his own Worries. Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman) has married and is fighting for the rights of Black, Diego (David Castañeda) wants to prevent the assassination of John F.

The Only one who has, as always, everything in the handle is Five (Aidan Gallagher), the looks, due to a fault in the space-time continuum is still like a twelve-year-old.

There is a certain loose woman (Kate Walsh) is pulling the strings – and especially with Five a few bills.
